What If Otto Didn't Want to Revive Kallen, but Instead Wanted to Destroy Honkai? (Continued)

She stood firmly on her eldest sister's side.

Before the Finality Herrscher appears, Kiana will definitely choose Durandal over Durandal of the Finality without hesitation. It's just unknown how long it will take for this boomerang to hit her.

Unlike Kiana, the Golden Courtyard is still filled with laughter and joy.

"Hahaha, hiccup."

Elysia's smile lacked any ladylike demeanor.

"Okay... is it really that funny?"

Kevin stared with dead fish eyes.

"Haha, I'm so sorry, I really couldn't help it..."

Elysia laughed until she couldn't breathe.

Mei could only gently pat her back to help her catch her breath.

"What exactly does Su want to do? Is the purpose of making Durandal relive the memories he experienced simply to cause Durandal to Honkai the horrors she once created?"

Vill-V couldn't quite understand it.

Su shook her head.

Although she was created based on him, she didn't know what the purpose was. The only ones who could really understand this were probably the director and the screenwriter.

"Don't look at me, I don't know either."

Yaqing completely absolved herself of any wrongdoing.

Upon hearing this, everyone rolled their eyes.

You don't know? You're the screenwriter and you still don't know? Nobody would believe that.

Seeing that Yaqing was unwilling to explain or reveal any plot details, everyone could only speculate silently.

["Bang!"

A gunshot rang out, and the bullet pierced through Bo Long's consciousness, which was being controlled by the Herrscher of Sentience Knowledge. He turned around in surprise.

The Herrscher of Sentience uses Bo Long's life to threaten Otto.

Otto, however, was not swayed by this. Even knowing that Bo Long was not dead but in a beautiful dream, he still chose to kill his most trusted subordinate.

The Herrscher of Sentience was also quite helpless with Otto's stubbornness, so he had no choice but to use his power to pull Otto into the dream. He believed that no one could resist being immersed in a beautiful dream.

"Rather than die alone here, enter my dream."

Countless black hands emerged from behind Otto and pulled him into a dream.

The sun shone brightly, a gentle breeze lifted the hem of his white dress, and the person Otto most wanted to see stood before him, hands behind his back, a beaming smile on his face.

"This Herrscher of Sentience is truly adept at manipulating people's hearts. Knowing that Durandal was deeply grieving and filled with self-blame and remorse over Ragna's death, she made her see Ragna in her dreams."

"Vill-V sighed."

"Although we don't know whose identity Otto is impersonating, it seems that the timeline has converged again."

Vill-V glanced at Mobius almost imperceptibly.

Based on her speculation, if Otto's identity is indeed Mobius, then Kallen would be the Yaqing. However, if the Yaqing is the identity Otto is impersonating, then the person he most wants to see is Mobius.

Mobius keenly noticed the look in Vill-V's eyes.

"Heh, rather than saying he's like me, it's more like Yaqing, after all, his temperament is extremely similar to that of the character Otto in the story."

Yaqing looked bewildered, wondering how he had been brought up again.

Upon hearing what Mobius said, the crowd actually felt that there was some truth to it.

Yaqing, Kevin, and Su are so close they're practically inseparable. Since Rita, who has a lot of screen time, is impersonating Kevin, is it possible that Otto has even more screen time, is impersonating Yaqing?

Everyone was speculating.

Yaqing looked completely helpless.

Meanwhile, at Schicksal Headquarters in Central Europe, Kallen went shopping with Cecilia, while Otto, avoiding Amber during work hours, secretly played Saintess Fantasy. Then, on a whim, he started watching Honkai.

He does everything in the office except work.

Otto was quite surprised to see himself on stage.

However, I didn't have high expectations, because this was just Su's memory, not the real him.

In his eyes, this was just the story of a stranger who looked exactly like him.

Kallen, who appears in the dream, suddenly sits up straight.

"That's interesting."

Otto picked up the bracelet, which was sent to him by an old friend in Shenzhou, and he couldn't stop wearing it once he started.

When Otto came to his senses, Kallen, who was sitting opposite him, looked displeased.

In Kallen's eyes, Otto had promised to spend the whole day with her, but he was still thinking about work.

Otto told the truth that he felt a little dizzy, like he was having a dream.

Kallen stood up, her eyes filled with worry, and stroked Otto's face, gently comforting him.

Otto seemed to realize something immediately. He called out Bo Long, who was hiding in the bushes, took the pistol from Bo Long's waist, and without hesitation, shot Bo Long dead.

"Otto... what are you doing?!"

Kallen looked shocked, but her pupils quickly contracted as she stared in disbelief at the scene before her.

"Why... why..."

Otto pointed the dark muzzle of his pistol at her, pulled the trigger, and his green eyes held a complex mix of emotions—a chilling murderous intent and a lingering, painful reluctance.

Otto remained silent.

The office was eerily quiet, except for the sound of the beads colliding as the bracelet was being turned.

"Unforgivable..."

Otto's blond hair obscured his eyes.

He could understand his own psychology in the story when he shot Kallen.

Now that he knows it's fake, he absolutely cannot tolerate this guy using Kallen to set a gentle trap for him.

"President Otto, don't be so angry. Why don't you think about how Aunt Kallen would feel if she saw this scene?"

Ziegfried sat casually on the sofa, holding a game controller in his hand, his eyes glued to the game connected to the TV.

Otto scoffed at Ziegfried's boastful advice.

"Ziegfried, you really are indifferent to this. What would you do if someone used Cecilia's illusion to set a trap for you?"

Ziegfried's fingers paused for a moment, then quickly began pressing buttons rapidly on the controller.

"I am the head of the Kaslana family."

Ziegfried replied to Otto with a single sentence.

Although he usually appears carefree and easygoing, as if he can get along with anyone, strictly speaking, he is the head of the Kaslana family, one of the top three people in Schicksal.

"Hehe."

With a loud "bang," Otto was jolted awake from his dream, sitting up abruptly and waking Kallen, who was sleeping next to him.

Just then, the door was pushed open, and Theresa called out "Dad!" and walked in. Faced with her daughter's worry, Kallen simply rubbed her head and told her not to go to sleep.

The two got up and went to the kitchen. Kallen poured Otto a glass of warm milk, urged him to rest, and told him that she had found a way to cure Collapse Disease.

"I remember you guys seemed to have contracted the [Collapse Disease]..."

Otto didn't dare look Kallen in the eye and turned his back to her.

Kallen laughed and said that Otto was overthinking things, then gently hugged him.

"We will always be by your side."

Kallen's gentleness and her daughter's worry made Otto silent for a moment, but he quickly realized that this was a dream created for him by the Eighth Herrscher.

"This dream is so beautiful, so beautiful that I want to stay."

Otto's voice was deep.

"Honey, what are you saying? This is your home, of course you can stay here forever."

Kallen's tone remained gentle, but it carried a hint of seduction.

Otto broke free from Kallen's gentle embrace, propped himself up on the table, picked up a kitchen knife, and stabbed it viciously into Kallen's stomach.

"Unfortunately, you... are not her."

Otto knew perfectly well that Kallen and Theresa had died long ago from the Collapse Disease, and if Dr. MEI hadn't cut off his left hand, he probably would have died along with them.

Now that she's been exposed, the Herrscher of Sentience no longer hides her identity. Using Kallen's voice, she questions Otto: Why is he unwilling to immerse himself in this beautiful dream? If he could just indulge in it, he could grow old with the one he loves most.

"No... you're wrong."

Otto's eyes were now devoid of any lingering affection or memories; only a chilling murderous intent remained.

"If I were to immerse myself in a dream, that would be the greatest betrayal of them. My only reason for living is to take revenge on the Collapse Disease."

"I've been having this dream for too long, goodbye..."

Otto clapped.

If he were to remain immersed in a false dream, he would never admit that this Otto was him, but now, he felt that the Otto in the story was just like him, and that his love for Kallen was the same.

"Well done."

Otto's praise came from the bottom of his heart.

"Tch, I can too."

Ziegfried curled his lip.

He believed that his love for Cecilia was no less than Otto's love for Kallen.

Otto didn't mind Ziegfried's nagging because he felt that the characters in Yaqing's script were fundamentally unequal.

After Kallen's death, she took up the banner of human civilization's fight against the Honkai and worked hard to revive Kallen.

Ziegfried, after Cecilia's death, couldn't even protect his own daughter. In the end, he became an alcoholic and fell into depravity, and even had Kaslana's ancestral weapon stolen from him.

"Hehe."

Otto's cold laugh seemed to be provoking Ziegfried's nerves, which were on the verge of collapse.

Golden Courtyard.

"What an admirable man."

Hen exclaimed in genuine admiration.

To be fair, if it were him, and Blanca and Griseo died, and he had encountered this illusion again, he wouldn't have been able to get out of it so quickly.

"Unfortunately, in the main storyline, he is preoccupied with reviving Kallen. If reviving Kallen requires sacrificing his life, I don't think he would hesitate for a second."

Mei sighed.

Otto is an extremely difficult person to evaluate.

He may be a good person, but the human experiments he conducted and his mindset certainly don't make him a good person.

While he may be considered a bad person, he did indeed protect human civilization and fight against the Honkai for 500 years. Without Otto as a leader, humanity would probably still be a disorganized mess.

His crimes are too numerous to count, but his achievements will endure forever.

"I think that if Otto didn't prioritize reviving Kallen and instead focused solely on fighting the Honkai, that would be truly terrifying, because he never cared about the means or human lives."

Vill-V seemed to see an Otto who was single-mindedly focused on Honkai the Honkai, and he also saw that ruthless and reckless methods.

"It's impossible to judge whether it's good or bad; all I can say is that the screenwriter chose this type of Otto."

Sakura took a sip of tea.

It was already past midnight, but everyone seemed completely unaware of being sleepy, only focused on finishing the story.

"I still want to see what kind of expression Kallen will have when she sees this scene."

The wicked fox woman revealed a wicked smile on her face at this moment.
